Anyone here remember "The Shops by Harvard Yard" in Holyoke Ctr?

In the late 90s, there was a place in there with really good flatbread and soup. I miss that place.

Hope I spelled that right. Think it survived through the mid aughts.
How long do building naming rights last?

How long do building naming rights last at Harvard? Until the next renovation? I've gotten used to sports venues changing names, but what is next?
If students need a place to hang out and socialize, perhaps a former student like Mark Zukerberg can come up with some sort of 21st century approach. Oh, right, he did. It seems people in the soft sciences are stuck in old paradigms, wanting to create kumbaya physical spaces.

Why not just a plain groggery , sponsored by a local brew? Harpoon Hall , Samuel Adams Tavern , The Bucket of Bud.
Or , if beer isn't your bag , House of Jameson . Au revoir , Au Bon Pain !

Tufts tore down some donor's building

I remember when Tuft's built their parking garage on Boston Ave they had to tear down a 60's looking brick building on do it. It had some donor's name prominently displayed on it. I wonder how pissed the donor / donor's heirs are that their building had such an ignoble fate. On a side note it's a nice looking parking garage and an improvement on the old building.
LOL at Tufts' Hotung Café

I remember the dedication of the Hotung Café at Tufts (a name no-one used in real life to my recollection) where one of the student workers honored to speak on behalf of the events committee contrived to include the words "Lick" and "Me" in their speech as a way of continuing one of the local student traditions. Much fun.
But indeed: along with the big check and the unveiling ceremony, it behooves naming donors to consider carefully what the actual denizens of your newly named facility are going to think of the name. As well as the organization that owns the place, of course...
College names

My very first ever meeting with a dean at my college came the week I became editor of my school paper, which was the week after the sports department decided to have some fun with the fact that the baseball team had continued a winning streak by beating Bates with a late-inning rally, i.e., they ran the following headline/subhead: "Judges master Bates with come-from-behind thrust / After creaming Clark and [Some other school]."
